So, alas I have hit a roadblock. The roadblock is the app Evernote and while my teacher explains it well and uses it - I still don't like using it. This is going to take a bit longer than a month to get use to it. The frustrations of not being able to understand Evernote could trigger some steps backwards in productivity but looking at some outside resources, I was able to find something that was a bit more tangible for myself. "How to Organize Evernote for Maximum Efficiency" by Michael Hyatt goes over the notebooks in Evernote (I'm still having a hard time with it), and how to use and organize them. He has has some other notes, which I've attached below.
In the meantime, I have been using Things + CONTROL + OPTION + SPACE to reference links with actionable items. For what I don't consider to be actionable, I am using the app and extension called Pocket - which allows you to bookmark and save links online which are then converted for use offline. Pretty nifty and is a simple reference tool.
While we are on the note of organizing, I can say with pride that my files are organized on my computer. In a short and brief explanation, we can use the examples used in the past posts to create for ourselves categories, and with that we can assign colour labels on folders and files - labels on Mac or any of the following if you're using PC. The key is to keep it simple, know what you need to organize and do it.
